CEOs Message
Dear readers,
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has gained much traction in recent
years as digital construction technology that will fundamentally transform
the building and construction industry practice in the delivery of an
excellent built environment. It is a game changing technology that will
improve the construction productivity as well as the level of
integration and collaboration across the various disciplines in the
construction value chain. It is therefore important for the
industry to embrace the technology with clarity.
The BIM Essential Guides are part of the industrys efforts to demystify BIM and to give clarity
on the requirement of BIM usage at different stages of a project.
Under the leadership of the BIM Steering Committee chaired by Er Lee Chuan Seng, Emeritus
Chairman, Beca Carter, and comprising of leaders in BIM, the BIM Managers Forum has
contributed much time and effort to compile the various best practices to make this Guide
possible over a short span of time. We would like to thank them for their contribution.
We hope that every BIM user can truly reap the benefits of BIM by integrating it into his/her
day-to-day workflow from feasibility study to facility management. We hope that BIM users
can use these guides as a platform to jumpstart their BIM adoption, before they leap to
greater heights, innovating and transforming their workflow.
BIM is a journey. We envisage that it will grow with time and will inspire more advanced and
innovative use of BIM. I would like to encourage all BIM practitioners to join in this industry
effort to grow this Guide into a wealth of BIM knowledge.
Dr John Keung

INTRODUCTION
The BIM Essential Guide for BIM Execution Plan (BEP) serves to jump start the development of a BEP for a
project. The BEP provides a baseline document, approved by the Employer, to guide the project team in achieving
goals set with regards to BIM deliverables throughout the project.
The BEP specifies the roles and responsibilities of project members when using Building Information Modelling
(BIM) at different stages of a project. It contains details with regards to the BIM deliverables and the process
through which the deliverables are created, maintained and shared, in order to meet a set of project goals.
Typical content of a BEP includes the following:
Project information;
Project members;
Project goals;
BIM use cases for each stages of a project;
BIM deliverables for each BIM use case,
Model author and users for each BIM deliverables;
Model elements, level of details and attributes for each BIM deliverable;
Process for BIM creation, maintenance, release and collaboration;
Technical Environment; and
Others
The BEP is usually defined at the start of the project and can be updated to accommodate new project members
or new uses of BIM. All updates should be made with the permission of the Employer or his appointed BIM
Manager.
The BEP can be defined by the client, and made reference by the Principal Agreement via the BIM Conditions (see
BIM Conditions Version 2 / Essential Guide to BIM Conditions).
Users could follow the following steps to define a BIM Execution Plan (BEP) using the various templates and
materials found in the Singapore BIM Guide.

Architectural modelling is carried out in the following stages: Conceptual, Preliminary Design,
Detailed Design, Construction and As-Built. The types of models produced at each stage depend on
the BIM deliverables required.
If the design has precast or prefab design then those elements can be placed as Objects.
The building elements must be created using the correct tools (Wall tool, Slab tool, etc.). If the
features of BIM authoring tool are not sufficient for modelling the element, the required building
elements must be created using other appropriate objects. In that case, define the "Type" of the
element correctly.
2D can be used to complement the BIM model when the elements are smaller than the agreed size,
e.g. Elements smaller than 100mm do not need to be modelled.
2D standard details can be used to complement the BIM model.
Building Elements must be modelled separately for each storey.
Required Parameters: Type, Material, ID, Size. Type is required for the Quantity Take-off.
If more than one tool is used to model certain elements then the elements should be grouped and
identified correctly by "Type", e.g. Slabs and Beams can be used to model the Road. The elements
must be grouped as one and define the "Type" as a "Road"
Structural elements should be modelled based on the information (e.g. Size) from Structural
Engineers. The alternative is to link or work in a shared model with the Structural Engineers.

Topo
(Existing Site)
Modelling Guidelines
Existing site's contour and location should be
modelled based on the land surveyor's information
(spot levels, northing and easting).
Renovation Projects (A&A): If the existing buildings
were not in BIM, then 2D drawings of the existing
building can be used to complement the BIM model.

The structural consultant produces both an analysis model and a physical model (Structural BIM)
with actual member size and position. The model will be used for documentation. These documents
cover the Structural BIM only.
Structural modelling is carried out in the following stages: Conceptual, Preliminary, Detail,
Construction and As-Built. The types of models produced at each stage depend on the BIM
deliverables required.
If the design has precast or prefab design. The part can be designed and modelled by a specialist and
incorporated/linked into the model for reference.
Structural BIM covers all load-bearing concrete, wood and steel structures, as well as non-loadbearing concrete structures. The basic building elements used are Wall, Slab, Beam, Column and
Lattice. The building elements must be created using the correct tools (Wall tool, Slab tool, etc.). If
the features of BIM authoring tool are not sufficient for modelling the element, the required building
elements must be created using other appropriate objects. In that case, define the "Type" of the
element correctly.
The model can be phased and divided for various ST submissions as per the project
planning/individual firm's practice.
Rebar and Joint details can be done in Detailed Design Stage based on the capability of the BIM
authoring tool.
2D or 2D standard details can be used to complement the BIM model when the elements are smaller
than the agreed size, e.g. Elements Smaller than 100mm do not need to be modelled.
2D can be used for loading plans.
2D can be used for the column schedule when the BIM authoring tool has limitations. The shape and
cutting of each column should be included in the schedule.
